Class History Early in September of 1949, the thirty-six members of our class became Green Freshmen. Soon came Initiation Day--the girls were decked out in gunny sacks and men's shoes, and the boys wore girl's dresses and women's shoesg that night the class of 1950 threw a party for us. That year several of the girls joined Tri-Hi-Y, and the boys became members of the Hi-Y and the basketball and baseball squads. Our sponsors were Mrs. DeCoursey and Mr. Payne. The class officers were Kay Barr, president, Larry Trout, vice-president: Catherine Scheid, secretary: and Marjorie Redifer, treasurer, No longer were we Green Freshmen the next yearf'--thirty-four of us had gone on to become Sophomores. That year the school yell leaders were all members of our class--Caroline Butt, Phyllis Trout, Billie Stewart, and Jim Hayward, Bill Lee and Buddy Candler made the varsity squad in basketball: Diane Ellmore was in- stalled as head librarian, and Caroline Butt was chosen office girl. We had mem- bers in Band, Chorus, Hi-Y, and Tri-Hi-Y. In the early part of 1951, Staunton drew Brazil in the Wabash Valley Prelim: beat them, and went clear through to take the Prelim Tournaments. Again in the Sectional we Mew Brazil, and again took the tourney. Congratulations, Mr. Roeschlein! Our sponsors were Mrs. Smith and Mr. Payne, and our officers were Buddy Candler, presidents Ralph I-lowald, vice- president: Bobbie Kay Houston, secretaryg and Evelyn Kay Barr, treasurer. The Junior year began by our electing Buddy Candler, president: Catherine Scheid, vice-president: Kay Barr, secretaryg and Patty Ballinger, treasurer. Our sponsors. were Mrs. Meyer and Mr. Scheid. In the fall, we took the class of 1952 to Turkey Run for the day--and two of the girls in our class got lost! The play we chose and produced was a three-act comedy, A Case Of Springtime. ln the Carnival, we produced a Colored Minstrel, as we had done the year before: Caroline Butt and Phyllis Trout were re-elected yell leaders, along with Margaret Casassa and Bette Carpenter. Our class rings were ordered early in the year, and came on November 23, during Thanksgiving holiday. I We elected members of the paper staff as follows: Sue Bannon, Editorg Diane Ellmore, Business Manager, Circulation Manager, Phyllis Trout: Sports Editor, Bill Lees Reporters, Caroline Butt and Marjorie Redifer, Typists, Catherine Scheid, Kay Barr: Joke Editor, Ralph I-Iowaldg Artist, Larry Videll. In the fall of 1952, twenty-eightof us entered our Senior year. Our officers were Kay Barr, president: Larry Trout, vice-presidentg Diane Ellmore, secretary, and Marjorie Redifer, treasurer. Our sponsors were Miss Veach and Mr. Albrecht. Again Caroline Butt and Phyllis Trout were elected yell leaders, along with Bette Carpenter and Margaret Casassa of the class of 1955. In the fall, the class of 1954 took us to Turkey Run. Then came the long awaited time of having Senior pictures taken, and ordering name-'cards and commencement invitations. The play chosen to be presented by the Dramatics Class was Hobgoblin House. The Carnival, in which all of the classes helped, was a success. Sunday, May 3, baccalaureate services will be held in the school gymnasium. Tuesday, May 5, at 8:00 o'clock, commencement services will be held. Then on Friday, May 8, the twenty-eight members will walk out the doors of Staunton High School, to return only as alumni. L -
